![]() ![]() GitHub has strict limits on the amount of storage and bandwidth when using Git LFS on their servers.To download the actual data file (and not just the placeholder with the hash), the user has to have Git LFS installed and configured on their machine.Unfortunately parts of the process can be rough: Then when a user runs a Git command like git clone or git checkout, only the version of the data file that corresponds to the hash is downloaded. The large file is then uploaded to a server and indexed with that hash. The basic idea is that instead of versioning the big data files, it instead versions a plain text file that contains a hash. I've used Git LFS to version large files with Git and GitHub.
